Sustainable solutions

Our solutions increase process efficiency, improve tool life, reduce scrap and waste, as well as helping to decrease energy consumption in production sites.

Companies in the beer and beverage can industry need to boost process efficiency while also producing lightweight cans in a variety of sizes. We offer post-lube, cupper lube and bodymaker coolant technologies for every application that enable our customers to gain a real competitive advantage.

Cleaners and pretreatments from Henkel also support outstanding quality and efficiency for beer and beverage can producers. Our cleaning systems for washing formed cans prior to decoration are proven to deliver excellent results in removing lubricants, organic soils and metal fines. This helps to optimize later stages in the can making process, including accepting inks and coatings. We also provide biodegradable surfactants and solutions with low COD, as well as cleaners that are compatible with ultra-filtration and compliant with the SEVESO standard.

Beverage can production line

Our range of mobility enhancers supports can drying and improves mobility during conveying and loading at high-speed decorators. These solutions help  to reduce surface tension and friction on the can, while reducing jams and mis-loads at the printer, helping to shed water faster and enabling lower temperatures in the dry-off oven. This enables our customers to improve  efficiency, save drying energy, accelerate line speeds and reduce scrap.
